Your body is not the enemy.
Too often, our approach to healing looks more like "fixing" - identifying a problem, researching a solution, and implementing top-down change through sheer force of will. But trauma isn't a problem that needs fixing; it's our body attempting to communicate, the only way it knows how.
Built over a decade of training in trauma-informed health education, as well as years of experience as a yoga instructor and social-emotional wellness coach, this unique program goes way beyond rote memorization and affirming platitudes to help you re-learn the language of your own embodied wisdom.
Instead, you'll get the information, skills-building, and ongoing support you need to establish a your own personal embodied pleasure practice - one you'll sustain effortlessly because you've tailored it to your own specific needs. Suitable for self-healers and professionals alike, this is a psychoeducation program designed to get you out of your head - and into your body.

This program is designed and facilitated by me - Haylin Belay. I'm a seasoned sex educator, bodyworker, and health promotion professional with a focus in reproductive justice and intersectional, trauma-informed strategies for healing and care.
With over a decade of hands-on experience developing award-winning health education programming and providing professional development for clinicians, educators, and activists, I’ve dedicated my life to teaching people of all ages practical skills for a healthier, more pleasurable life. In addition to my classroom work, I'm also a yoga instructor and pleasure witch, offering workshops, trainings, and one-on-one coaching from an trauma-responsive, integrated mind-body-spirit perspective.
Healing the Traumatized Body is the product of years of professional training and personal practice. As a believer in life-long, life-wide learning, I offer this program as a ‘living curriculum’ which can continue to deepen alongside my own development as a practitioner.
